Most stars in the Milky Way move at steady speeds, orbiting the galactic center in regular paths. But astronomers have ...

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new pre-main-sequence eclipsing binary system. The newfound ...

For the first time, the famous “spirograph” Planetary Nebula IC418’s non-explosive stellar evolution has been captured over ...

What can binary stars comprised of two different types of stars teach astronomers about stellar evolution? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as a team ...

Astronomers have discovered the first pairs of white dwarf and main sequence stars -- 'dead' remnants and 'living' stars -- in young star clusters. This breakthrough offers new insights on an extreme ...

"This discovery heralds a broader understanding of the diversity in massive stars' deaths and a need for deeper investigations into the whole landscape of stellar evolution." Astronomers have ...

SN2021yfj is a new kind of supernova, challenging our understanding of stellar evolution. Its progenitor lost its outer shells well before the supernova happened and only consisted of its ...

NASA’s Hubble Telescope has uncovered WD 0525+526, a rare ultra-massive white dwarf formed in a violent star merger.

This image from the ALMA telescope shows star system HD101584 and the complex gas clouds surrounding the binary. It is the result of a pair of stars sharing a common outer layer during their last ...
